Hopefully someone will crack the system and find a cheaper solution, i have bought one 400€ box but need another, however whether you have a box or not the system is proving to be very unreliable! last weekend we lost the TV Saturday Night and Sunday Morning and again Sunday Night and this weekend just we had NO tv.

So it matters not which box you have TV is not Guaranteed,I have complained to Our Administrators and Polaris World butonly get feable excuses.

I shall be demanding my money backif they do not sort it out.

The sooner us members break the monopoly on TV, Internet and Telephone the better.

Hi Mick,

This raises a good point.  Looking at the 2009 budget I get the impression the we, the community, own the satellite system rather than PW as we seem to be paying an enormous amount for it's installation/up keep.  So perhaps we should be hassling RPM about not paying for an un-reliable service?

Phil

The point has been raised before. Irrespective of who owns the system , is there no guarantee/ warranty on the system at all. I would have thought that at least for first 12m or so there should be some sort of cover which raises the point why is there even a charge for upkeep in the first 12months?

re installation - The PW blurb promised all properties would have digital TV, telephone and t'internet so as far as I am concerned they should have covered the cost of this in full.

As Phil says maybe RPM could actually clarify/sort this out.

Guess what as we speak the TV has gone off again - Crazy no doubt they will blame the weather.

Problem is there are / is nobody we can contact to fix it, by why does it keep failing? its a new system,

We are suppossed to be paying 250.000 € between us to maintain it, Spanish Owners dont want it they can get all their channels with a 14€ aerial, it caters for many nationalities but not Irish of which there are many here.

The sooner we get our community up and running the sooner we can sort these issues properly

I have been reading with interest the tv threads and the topic of the expensive €400 box. Firstly I totally agree with the comments posted here.

Polaris should provide a quality system and a proper back up service with a guarantee as suggested by wiredout.

I also agree with ptan that the cost of maintenance is huge and certainly needs further investigation.

Sonatigh, spot on, this monopoly should be broken and a competitive service sought for the benefit of CDA.

It appears that on another Polaris resort the community have had competitive quotes of under €100k for the maintenance of their tv system as opposed to polaris' €300k plus. However Polaris seem reluctant to hand over this lucrative system to the community and have threatened to cut off all channels including the free to air ones.

The rub is that if the community signs this particular contract it may legitimise Polaris' right to monopoly and the imposition of 'future' costs.
